<p><b>Syntax</b></p><blockquote>

Result = <font color="#006666"><b>ElapsedMilliseconds</b></font>()</blockquote>

</blockquote>
<b>Description</b><br><blockquote>



Returns the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since a specific time 
in the past. 

 

</blockquote><p><b>Parameters</b></p><blockquote>

None.





</blockquote><p><b>Return value</b></p><blockquote>



Returns the elapsed time in milliseconds. 

 

</blockquote><p><b>Remarks</b></p><blockquote>



The absolute value returned is of no use since it varies depending 
on the operating system. Instead, this function should be used to calculate time 
differences between multiple ElapsedMilliseconds() calls. 
<br>
<br>
This function is relatively accurate: it may have a slight variation, depending 
on which operating system it is executed on, this is due to the fact that some 
systems have a lower timer resolution than others.

<pre><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"size="2">  StartTime =<font color="#006666"> ElapsedMilliseconds</font>()             <font color="#006666">; Get the actual value</font>

  ElapsedTime =<font color="#006666"> ElapsedMilliseconds</font>()-StartTime <font color="#006666">; 'ElapsedTime' value should be about 1000 milliseconds</font>
</font></pre>
